  1. The Euro isn’t like that anymore..it makes big jumps now. Not the same old stable girl she used to be. She’s a szchitso now.
  2. Yes that’s how I remember it too…and it was discarded by NWS because of convective feedback errors they said. Lol. Then everything came on board and they had to count it in.
  3. This is why I laughed yesterday when folks were saying how would todays modeling handle ‘93..? It would be a shit show. These models are all over the place on every single system at 3-4 days out, every single time. Especially the Euro lately(what a joke that model has become). But some think these models would be able to handle a triple phaser, at a week out..it’s comical. Way too much sensitivity messing these things up, and causing them to jump all over the place like a shaking, neurotic Chihuahua.
  4. It’s all good…we knew it just had to settle in and set the stage. Good things come to those who(wait) are patient.
  5. There nothing wrong with that for central areas either. I’d take that..9.5” on the clown ain’t anything to sneeze at. But just another run.
  6. Yes…the measuring I think was so difficult due to the ferocious blowing. But alot of the official measurements for 78 did seem low for a lot of CT. Being a teacher, I can say we had no school for a week also in Feb 13 too, so equal in that regard.
  7. And that’s this whole point…it’s always different for everybody. It’s never gonna be the same. And the reason it wasn’t the same out east on Feb 13, was because the real death band set up over here, and down through LI. Had it set up over the east…it would have been a different feeling for the east folks. But it didn’t, so 78 still ranks above. But not for here because we got absolutely obliterated with that band in 13…it was just totally off the charts.
  8. He was talking about New England. So that’s what I was referring to. Yes upstate NY(which is significantly west of SNE/NE) got significantly more snow than here, due to your westward location. So for your area out there, for sure 2 feet was widespread. But not in NE.
  9. Agreed. Imo, living through 78 as a soon to be 10 yr old 5 weeks afterwards, 78 had longer lasting winds, and thus bigger drifts, and even longer lasting blizzard conditions. But Feb 13 had even more snow than 78 here, with legit 6”+/hr rates that were absolutely mind boggling to witness. Feb ‘13 finally lived up to the performance and ferocity of 1978 for me…and I pretty much treat/think of them as equals for my area. Until that point, nothing had lived up to 78 here. But Feb 13 finally did for me. Both incredible storms.
